Nueces County Public Health District Announces Halloween Safety
Press Release
Corpus Christi - Halloween, like many other events this year, will not be your typical celebration. The Corpus Christi - Nueces County Public Health District feels it’s important to adjust the current traditions to keep everyone safe.
Halloween can still be celebrated, but like the perfect costume, the Public Health District advises altering it to fit the community’s needs. It is advised to create new Halloween activities at home with your family like a movie night, a spooky candy hunt, or even a haunted house.
If you plan on going out, here are some DO’s and DON’Ts that will help your night be safe and fun:
DO plan your celebration.
DO plan creative ways to distribute treats contactless.
DO evaluate the risks.
DO NOT hand out treats directly, instead; have pre-packaged treats, socially distanced or hang them from your trees.
DO NOT host a party where social distancing is not possible.
Everyone hosting or attending any Halloween festivities should continue following safety guidelines and practice the public health 3 W’s:
Wear a mask
Watch your distance and
Wash your hands often
